APC and PDP Sue Adeleke Over Osun Election Results
The All Progressives Congress (APC) and the People's Democratic Party (PDP) have dragged Ademola Adeleke to court over the results of the Osun State governorship election held on August 15, 2026. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Adeleke the winner, having secured 511,067 votes against the APC candidate, Oyebamiji, who received 444,815 votes.
Adeleke won in 19 of the 30 local government areas, giving him a margin of 66,252 votes. Despite challenging the election outcome, Oyebamiji congratulated Adeleke on his victory and emphasized the APC's commitment to pursuing justice through lawful means.
He urged party supporters to remain steadfast in their democratic beliefs. Oyebamiji also raised concerns about violence against APC members, alleging that over 35 members were killed during the electoral process and calling for police investigations into these incidents.
Following the election results, the APC began consultations with party elders to determine their next steps.
